Once you’ve decided you’re going to move house, it’s time to start planning. Moving house can be stressful and a difficult process but if you allow yourself time to get everything done, it can be made a lot simpler. One thing you need to do, is inform everyone that you’re vacating the property and moving to a new address. Follow our list and you can get all the relevant people notified in no time.

1. Friends and family: Firstly, you need to tell your friends and relatives your new address. This is easiest done by email or text to all your relevant contacts or for the less tech-savvy, you could send a letter or phone them up.

2. Service providers: Write down a list of everyone you pay your bills too, for water, gas, electricity and council tax. Phoning these larger companies can leave you kept on hold for a long time, so it’s much quicker to let them know online or via email.

3. Internet provider: Your telephone and email provider will need to know your new address and whether you’re going to take your internet box with you.

4. Employer: Update your employment records with your HR department.

5. Bank: Banks may need proof of your new address such as a bill, housing contract or updated driving licence so do take this along with you when you go to update your address details.

6. HMRC: Remember to let HM Revenue and Customs know your change of address as correspondence from them is usually quite important regarding your tax details.

7. Doctor: If you’re moving out of your doctor’s catchment area, you may need to change doctors entirely. It’s best to let them know your new address and they can assign you to a new doctor's surgery if need be.

8. TV Licensing: TV Licenses can be moved with you so keep them informed of your change of address and you won’t have to pay for a new one.

9. Loyalty card systems: Supermarkets or department stores with a points system often send vouchers to your house, so don’t forget them.

10. Computer, laptop or tablet: The internet browser on your PC, laptop or tablet will usually use an ‘auto-fill’ option for your address. It can save you lots of time, if you change these auto-fill browser settings to your new address.
